CHEERING SPRING OUTLOOK.

ShLhkSAN0 SFhlN1 W ILOOh.
There has been no year since the
war, the Philadelphia Times says,
when the business outlook was so
cheering as it is this spring and it is
confined to no particular channel of
industry or trade and to no section of
the country. On every side }; in every
channel of productive industry in
every mart of commerce, and in every
portion of the Union, there is the same
promising outlook for spring trade of
immense volume and liberal profit.
We had mutations during war times
which gave the mock semblance of
more activity in business, but they
were unhealthy, subject to sudden
shocks and ended in disaster. Specu-
lation was rife in all classes the peo-
pie were tempted into extravaganza
and debt, and the inevitable result
was general prostration and severe
losses in all channels of trade
The cheering outlook of the present
spring, the Times continues, is based
on the most substantial foundation.
Capital is rapidly difusing itself into
productive enterprises labor is better
rewarded than it was during the ex-
ceptionally high wages of war times,
as the necessaries of life are greatly
reduced in cost the people were never
so free from debt and never so able to
consume, and there is general hope
and confidence throughout all the
various producing interests of the en-
tire country. Employers and employ
ed are gradually attaining better rela-
tons toward each other, and the uni
versal distrust of one year ago, caused
by the unfortunate cyclone of .labor
strikes started in Missouri, has been
efaced from business circles.
There is everything to encourage
Legitimate business enterprise in the
present cheering spring outlook. Be-
ing based on the solid foundation of
the general business solvency of the
people, it is no unhealthy initiation
no speculative flow to be followed by
the sudden ebb of prostration. 1t is
substantially free from speculative
stimulus, and both industry and trade
should gather the richest fruits of the
season just opened. Altogether the
year 1887 should be one of the most
prosperous, for every legitimate class
and interest, recorded in the hist DRY
of our heaven-blessed people.

SHERIFF BoYER,s GOOD EXAMPLE

Sheriff Boyer, of Forsyth county,
carries practical, level head. He is
a wide-awake farmer, and the agricul-
turalists of the tobacco belt would
do we'll to emulate the good
example he has set. In a converse
ton with him recently he informed
US that he had planted an unusually
large crop Of clover, and that he pro-
posed hereafter to raise less tobacco,
and what he did raise, to be only the
very best.
Forsyth county is considered to be
one of the finest grass-growing sections
in North Carolina, and it has the dis
fiction of containing more varieties of
native grasses than any other county
in the State. With good grasses, the
raising of live stock should naturally
become an important industry, and
with more live stock on the farm the
less quantity of fertilizer would have
to be purchased. With such grazing
facilities as we possess there ought to
be more sheep raised in the county,
and this is an industry the profit of
which cannot be gainsaid. Dairy
farms and creameries ought to -four
ish in Forsyth, and there would be
abundant market in our own midst
for their products. These are prac-
teal, living questions which must be
met and discussed by our farmers.
A diversity of production is as neces-
sarY in agriculture as in manufactures,
and the farmer who raises his own
supplies, with little tobacco for his
money crop, is nearer to ultimate
prosperity than he who recklessly puts
his entire farm under cultivation for
tobacco or any other single crop. THE
SENTINEL hopes to hear IF Other For
syth county farmers who VIII SOW

ANOTHER RAILROAD
SEEKING TO EXTEND IT'S LINE TO
WINSTON-SALEM.

WINSTON-SALEM.
The High Point, Randleman, Asheboro
and Southern Railroad Chartered by
the Last Legislature.
The last issue of the High Point
Enterprise contained the following
paragraph:
To the citizens of the cities of Win
ston and Salem: Help us build the
High Point, Randleman, Asheboro
and Southern Railroad; it will help
you more than anything else.
In the same issue is published the
full text of the bill passed in the last
Legislature incorporating the COM
pany. The second section of act reads
thus:
That the second section of said act
shall be amended so as to read as fol-
lows: That the said company shall have
power to construct a railroad from
High Point by way of Randleman to
Asheboro, and if it 50 desires may ex-
tend its road in the direction of South
Carolina, and connect with the rail-
roads of that State. That said Rail-
road Company is further empowered
to extend this line of road to the
towns of Salem and Winston upon
such terms as may be agreed upon by
the citizens or corporations of the
towns named, or the townships of For
syth county, through which the pro-
jected line may pass or enter into, and
the directors of the said High Point
and Randleman Railroad Company.
This road has mapped out route
from High Point to Randleman and
Asheboro, thence to Troy in Mont
gomery county, and to Wadesboro
where connection can be made with
the Carolina Central Railroad, Eek
tending from Wilmington to Char
lotte), also, the Cheraw and Darling.
ton which extends to Charleston. The
distance from Winston to High Point
is but Is miles, over country through
which railroad could be constructed
at comparatively little cost. This
would give our city connection with
Wilmington and Charleston, and oul
tobacco and other manufacturers who
have business relations with these cit
les can easily see the advantage to be
derived in the way Of freights.
Just what our High Point and
Randolph county friends would have
Winston-Salem do is not mentioned
by the Enterprise, but THE SENTINEL
feels confident that our people viii
cheerfully cooperate in the construc.
ton of the desired road. We suppose
the Chamber of Commerce will give
this matter their early attention.

mace was broken in Lynchburg, and a

THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION
AT WORK.

AT WORK.
The time of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is now taken up
with the consideration of the numer-
GUS complaints and petitions before
them, and with the reception of visi-
tors, the petitioners and complainers,
who come in person. The Commission
has been receiving letters on all sorts
of irrelevant subjects from different
parts of the United States, and becom-
ing tired of answering conundrums,
not arising from specific complaints
which the law authorizes them to
consider, they have just published a
statement of the limits of their juris-
diction and powers.
This important utterance of the
Commission, while 1t apparently avoids
the questions to which it is applied
and refers the questioners to the rail-
roads and courts for the preliminary
and ultimate constructions of the laws,
points out the methods by which such
questions can come before them, and
makes suggestion, which, if observ-
ed, will prevent ninety-nine out of one
hundred of such questions from ever
arising.
The fruitful cause of these conun-
drums is the attitude OF the railroads,
which enforce vigorously, promptly,
and literally everything in the law
that can possibly tend to swell their
revenues, endeavor to suspend or avoid
everything which can reduce their
charges, and fall into panic-stricken
condition at the idea OF running the
risk of penalty by giving liberal
construction to the clauses authorizing
reduced rates in certain cases. With
many of the roads the purpose is two
fold, to make money and to create dis
comforts which may be attributed to
the law, bringing to it if possible I'M
popularity and repeal.
The Commission say that there is
nothing novel in the provisions of the
law establishing the general principles
under which interstate commerce must
now be conducted. They simply
bring back the business of the common
carriers to the well settled principles
Of the common law
The Commission now occupy their
permanent quarters in handsome
new building with white marble
front, on F street, in Washington. At
last the Commission has decided upon
and appointed its Secretary, Mr..
Mosely, who was found in Boston. He
is a Democrat and member Of the
Massachusetts, State Legislature. He
is also a lumber merchant-and has had
valuable experience in the railroad
business.
